You may recall the story last year of Louisville suing Duke for pulling out of a 4-year contract between the two schools to play each other in football. In the first year of the contract (2002), Duke got crushed 40-3. Last year though, Duke simply said, forget this, we won't play you guys in the remaining three years of the contract (2007, 2008, and 2009).
The one thing in Duke's favor about the contract was that they could legally opt out of the it provided Louisville could find another team to play against that was a "team of similar stature." Essentially, that meant could Louisville find a suitable replacement for Duke?
Well, Duke's argument was that their football program was so bad that anyone out there would be a suitable replacement. And a judge agreed with that argument this summer, letting Duke off the hook.
But here's the awesome news. There's finally video of the Duke lawyer's argument. And if you're a Duke hater, this is pure gold. It's just her slamming the team relentlessly.
So there you go. Definitive legal proof that Duke sucks.
